feeling good
just an update that I am feeling really good after starting my lexapro. I feel a sense of contentment and gratitude even though I have some new challenges in my life. The dog I adopted from my friends dogs that passed away is having ACL surgery today. I’m hoping I’m up to the challenge of rehabilitation

RA complicated by arthritis in knees
Morning, so I have increasing pain in knees, worse on left. Diagnosed with Degenerate Oesteo-Arthritis in both knees, treatment for which is steroid injection, for time being, but ultimately will need knee replacement surgery. My question is, does anyone have tips to reduce pain & swelling & preserve

painful heavy legs …. This has helped me!
I have RA, I also had a DVT 8 years ago following surgery. I have a job which keeps me on my feet all day and I’m in my mid 50s. I had started to get very heavy aching legs. Compression socks helped, but on a whim I bought an electronic circulation booster (the type of thing advertised on TV by

Schilling Test -or something else ?
I recently found this out: Seventeen years ago, my cousin was found to have B12 deficiency. She would have been in her early 30s then - and was told that PA was unlikely at that young age. They tested her. From what she has told me, it sounds as if she was given the Schilling test - as she remembers

back pain after excision
hi everyone, I’ve posted a few times so thanks to anyone who has replied before 😊 I had really extensive excision of stage 3/4 endometriosis with adenomyosis found 3 months ago. I’m really struggling with lower back pain. It gets worse around the time of ovulation and periods but it can be any time

Pcsk9
I have chronic renal failure stage 3 , have had aerotic valve surgery, also fairly high ldl cholesterol, prediabetes because of simvastatin, nhs will not authorize pcsk9 inhibitors for me , it seems that the nhs would prefer you to become diabetic than give better drugs without side effects

PA and FND
Today I saw a neurologist for the first time , sadly not impressed and I am frustrated . I have already posted about my bad experience and lack of care from my Gp surgery, the same from my new surgery. I realised that my right hip was not working as it should, couldn't lift it off the bed or get it into

so lost 😞
Does any one here ever feel like their losing the mind? I feel so lonely but at the same time can’t bring myself to meet with people, I don’t even know why this is, I feel so sad and frustrated at the constant symptoms yet I can’t even cry to feel a release. I will be having surgery no 3 soon in a BSGE

Recovery
Has anyone else had previous open heart surgery and had burning pain and discomfort in left side of ribs, back and sharp pains in chest? I know this is all part of the healing process but the burning pain and discomfort has started in the past week, which is my third/forth week after surgery. I expected

Constant uncomfortable feeling
I'm hoping anyone out there can reach out. I was diagnosed with endometriosis 10 years ago and had 3 laparoscopies with the last one removing my left ovary and tube over 3 years ago. For the past month or so the pain is gradually getting worse. I'm worried that this will be the norm as its feels too

Mood and Zoladex
Hello, I hope you’re all coping as best you can today and that there’s been a little light in your day. I am only on my second week after my first Zoladex injection and I’m just struggling a bit with low mood, feeling depressed and anxious and very emotional. There are a lot of horror stories out there

Ribs aching
Hi Can anyone offer me any reassurance please? I had a heart stress test 6 weeks ago. The consultant hasn’t contacted me but he wrote to my surgery asking them to adjust my Isosorbide level. Using the FOI act I obtained a copy of the letter. It says that there is a ‘subtle inducable ischemia in the

Initial diagnosis Ataxia but then a Brain Tumour
Hi all. Some of you may remember I was intially diagnosed with Ataxia in October 2021 and found this lovely community. Once I had my MRI I was diagnosed with a Meningioma Brain Tumour which was causing my Ataxic Gait. I was going to leave this group as it felt wrong as that is not what I have. Some

Trying to contact a GP
Well I’ve just tried to contact my surgery this morning. The online contact told me no more spaces available until tomorrow to even lodge my symptoms for someone to read. This was at 8:30am. I tried phoning the surgery, no luck there. A recorded message saying no more phone calls being taken! So I’ve

PD and orthopedic surgeries
I’m debating having a partial knee replacement (for patella femoral arthritis) AND/OR Morton’s neuroma surgery. I really need both, but am very concerned about not being able to exercise, the way I usually do, for at least a few months. Would it be wise to schedule both surgeries just a couple of

scar from open heart surgery
I have lately been to the DRs with my open heart scar.. The top and bottom of the scar is oozing yellow pus, which has been dressed. Since noticing the oozing I have also noticed the left side of my breast, back and chest is very painful and uncomfortable especially in the morning and evenings. I don
